One million calls to the helpline

“Our callers say nights can be the worst times when they really need someone to talk to. We urgently need more donations to keep this night-time service going.” said Dame Esther Rantzen

Two thirds of calls are made overnight or at weekends when there is no other helpline available for older people who may be lonely, isolated or confused. But the increased number of callers means the helpline is costing even more to run, and without more public donations we may not be able to answer all the callers who need us.

Please help The Silver Line to raise the £1.65 milllion we urgently need to keep this ‘lifeline’ running every night and at weekends.

“We rely entirely on donations so thank you for helping us to ensure that The Silver Line continues to be available to every caller who needs us day and night, every day of the year, both now and in the future. Thank you so much to SAGA customers for your support.”
